The increase in the Company’s goodwill in 2014 was primarily related to the goodwill associated with the purchase of seven dealerships in the U.S. and three dealerships in the U.K.
The increase in the Company’s goodwill in 2013 was primarily related to the goodwill associated with the purchase of nine dealerships in the U.S., four dealerships in the U.K. and 18 dealerships in Brazil.
The increase in the Company’s intangible franchise rights in 2014 and 2013 was primarily related to the acquisitions in the U.S. and Brazil described above. The allocation of the purchase price for the 2014 acquisitions, including the valuation of intangible franchise rights and goodwill, is preliminary and based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the purchase price allocation period.
